Aaqib Javed also compared Babar Azam to Sachin Tendulkar and said that the former doesn't have many weak areas just like the Master Blaster.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has been in form and has guided his side to victories against South Africa in the recently concluded ODI and in the ongoing T20I as well.
Owing to Babar's performance, former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed has said that Indian captain Virat Kohli can improve his batting technique by closely following the Men in Green skipper.
Javed, who is the head coach of Pakistan Super League (PSL) side Lahore Qalandars even compared Babar to Sachin Tendulkar and said that the former doesn't have many weak areas just like the Master Blaster.
Javed, however, added that Kohli has a better range of shots as compared to Babar but he lacks the correct technique against swing bowlers.
"Virat Kohli has a better range [of shots] as compared to Babar Azam but he also has one area of weakness. If the ball swings, he tends to get trapped around the off-stump such as against [James] Anderson in England," said Javed in an interview with Cricket Pakistan.
"When you look at Babar, you don't see any weak areas. Just like, [Sachin] Tendulkar who also didn't have any weak areas. Babar is technically more safe and sound but if he follows Kohli’s fitness routine he will become an even better player. Meanwhile, Kohli can improve his technique by looking at Babar so that he doesn't get trapped," he added.
Javed went on to heap praises on Babar and said, "During the past two or three years, Babar Azam is 50 per cent of Pakistan’s batting. I never thought that he would be this consistent and even go past Virat Kohli [in ODI rankings]. Pakistan is very lucky, he came when the team was struggling and has single-handedly put the team on the right track. Even, captaincy hasn’t affected his form," he concluded.
Javed's views on Kohli were, however, not approved by Indian fans who started questioning him and even stating stats about the two batsmen.
Interestingly, Kohli has scored 70 international centuries and has been one of the faces of the Indian batting unit for a decade.
